Pedal Back Cycling

We're seeing some mad bike fails in the workshop, is the crazy hot weather taking its toll or has this guy got legs of steel?

Things you hear everyday in a bike shop...

Just needs a bit of oil Part 1

Listen to your bike - when it starts screaming at you it ain't happy. Check and replace brake pads before they start gouging your disc rotors - your brake calipers will thank you!

Basic bike maintenance checks - tyres, brakes, gears. Do they feel off? Do they sound off? If yes then get your bike checked out before you do any real damage to your components.

Bad reviews interpretative dance #1 🤗🤗

Sometimes you just have to scratch your head....

When a customer comes to you saying their gears are slipping the first check is usually the chain and cassette. Turns out the problem was a little more obvious... the chainring is absolutely mashed. New chainring incoming to get this ride back on the road.

You asked for more so here it is... Dirtiest Brompton EVER clean up operation Part 1.

We removed the chainset from the bike and started by undoing the chainring bolts and removing the chain guard. Next we scraped the bulk of the hardened and built up grease and road grime off the chainrings. The chairing and cranks were then scrubbed clean in a bike decreasing solution before being given a run through in our Rozone specialist bio remediation parts washer. Once all clean it was reassembled ready to go back on the bike.

Why are Brompton owners like this? We know they are peak commuter bikes, little workhorses carrying their owners from station to destination but seriously, look after these guys - they need cleaning and regular servicing just like any bike. Remember, a Brompton is for life not just for Christmas
